Computer games don't affect kids. If Pac Man affected us as kids, we would all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills, and listening to repetitive music.

My Camera Has Returned From The Dead

Posted by sffubs on Monday 21st February, 2005 at 16:51:22 GMT

Well, from Canon at least. All cleaned up, with the software updated. Apparently the market value for the repairs carried out was 294.93, and included a replacement flash unit, two main PCBs, a JAL pcb and two DC/DC PCBs! Looks like about the only electronics that were left alone were the CCD and the screen.

Anyway, thank you Canon for sorting my problem out relatively quickly, and to my full satisfaction.

I hope that my story is (a) an isolated case in that the camera failed (apparently pretty catastrophically) and (b) is not an isolated case in that the camera was repaired free of charge.

good for canon

I think having read reviews of their gear and having heard of your experience I'd probably go for a canon when i get round t getting a camera.
